1705: Democracy in action

1705 in all its 5k glory. Maximum height was a little over 200 meters and the total ascent about 290 meters so nothing too dramatic. The 3k short run hit 115 meters  with a total ascent of about the same, most of which was a fairly direct climb up the hill just after the two runs diverged so perhaps a mite more challenging and most of the long runners were back before most of the short runners, with the first in at 1 hour 5 minutes.
We welcomed new runner Jackson from Aberdeen and returners Goonie and Kan Kai. Flowerpot Man was bid a fond farewell and given his 100 run Tshirt. Egghead got his for 700 runs. Beaver and Yardo were iced respectively for off-paper running and snitching and Kii Leum for prefering and hour and half in the clutches of his dentist to getting to the site on time. Nothing else to report...

Oh ok there was a sort of erection at which only one position on the committee was changed - Softcock was appointed as On Sex as no one was sure who was elected last year. Otherwise it's an unchanged team: GM - Egghead, Hash Cash - Stick Insect, Hare Raiser - R2D2, Cultural Advisor - Sex Sprinter, Beer Bitch - Temporary Relief, Haberdasher - Only a Yolk, Nerd - Beaver. Have I forgotten anyone?

    "off-paper running" -- thank you, Mr. GM, that is a fair and accurate description. That hateful word "s**** c******" should only be used in extreme cases of cheating. You know, like Inchdick at HH3 week before last.

    One more position: wasn't Gan Yao our RA? Somebody better let him know that he's just signed on for another year of hard work.

    No, the position of Religious Advisor was abolished last year as we all suddenly realised that religion was a load of old rubbish, and was replaced with the brand new position of Cultural Advisor, admirably filled by Sex Sprinter. It is possible the Gan Yao may have been the On Sex but no one is sure and as he wasn't there to ask, we couldn't re-elect him, just in case he wasn't, hence the election of Softcock!

    Its a Putsch!!!! Two weeks away and fired!

    I know it was confusing, me being here there and everywhere, laying runs, arranging parties, organising jumbo jets full of visitors, just never stopped, but I was actually On-Sec. I am so relieved to be replaced by Soft Cock that I can cancel my weekly therapy sessions, throw away the valium ..... and of course concentrate on what I'm good at........the running!

    (Howls of laughter!)

    Soft cock, careful, the pressure is enormous!

    your humble servant
    Gan Yao

    Ex On Sec (and was it a pensionable position?)
